Planning Your Dream Wedding Day !!
So your wedding day is looming and you were going to take care of all of the wedding preperations yourself. Planning your dream day can be stressful and you’ve finally decided you need some professional help, but you’re not sure where to start, and what to get help with. Wedding planners often offer a range of packages to suit a wide range of budgets and needs, from organising celebrants and venue, to the dress, the hens party and accommodation transfers for guests arriving from out of town.
Deciding what you’d like to hand over and why is often a great start to choosing the right wedding planner for you. For example, if you love decorating then you might want to keep those tasks for yourself, however, if arranging musicians and audio and lighting equipment isn’t your cup of tea then this might be a great job for a planner, or even to enquire exactly what will your entertainment provider take care, as they may have inclusive packages that handle all of that work too, including the projector for those embarrassing photo/video slideshows the parents just HAVE to torture you with! The main thing is to hand over what you feel comfortable letting go of, giving the wedding planner enough guidance on your preferences so as to avoid any miscommunication or additional costs, last minute changes of mind are not a good idea for stress reduction, or tight budgets.
So make a list of all the to-do’s for the I-do’s, keep what you will enjoy doing, because if you enjoy it then it’s not going to feel like a chore, and hand over the rest to an experienced professional, often the money spent you may end up saving due to their experience in getting good deals or making more effective arrangements. It doesn’t have to feel like it’s all on your shoulders, get those Bridesmaids on the job too, you’ll find many people would love to help, just make sure they’re following your plan, not digressing to their own preferences - that’s where sometimes it’s worth getting a professional onboard!
Here’s some more top tips from some of Fraser Coast’s premier wedding planners:
Tip A:
“Your Wedding Day is special, don’t let stress get the better of you. A Wedding Planner can do a few jobs for you, and that can make a huge difference to your pre wedding happiness.”
Tip B:
Your Bridemaids can take a couple of tasks for you, ( they can do more than standing beside you).
Tip C:
“If you want tp plan your Dreamday yourself, make sure you have a thorough to-do-list. One missed task can make a huge difference to you day.”
